"Intersectionality doesn't ask you to leave your race at the door but rather examines, interrogates, investigates the systems of white supremacy colonialism and amplifies the most vulnerable voices and centres their needs."
On February 6, 2025, I had the honour of facilitating an online session Selam presented called Intersectional Feminism.
Selam shared some of the unspoken history of the mainstream Feminist movement, whereBlack, Indigenous, and Racialized women were left behind as White women strovefor and gained their rights, noting "When White women cry, Black people die."
The following week, I attended one of Selam’s FREE Live Online Antiracism 101 Workshops.
In both sessions Selam shared that Reparations can be made, by investing in the services and products Black, Indigenous, and Racialized entrepreneurs offer.
My key learning is that we must do our homework, learning from others, before asking questions. To me, this means listening with an open heart and mind and being ready to change the paradigms through which I interpret the world around me.
The picture accompanying this post shares the following lesson "Intersectionality doesn't ask you to leave your race at the door but rather examines, interrogates, investigates the systems of white supremacy colonialism and amplifies the most vulnerable voices and centres their needs."
I strongly recommend you invest your time and effort (and of course money) in learning from Selam Debs.
